That Gracie kid was so ******* abysmal ... he was more worried about the post fight embrace then actually fighting back ... Lost to a 2-2 fighter

Gracie were never that great fighter, a lot of the time they’re divas who only fought during theyre own rules, So happy when Sakaraba kick Royce ass fighting Royce rules, Kron Gracie is the only Gracie I like

To be honest the Gracies were shown up in the early 2000s by Sakuraba. 
It's a great martial art but on its own its pretty useless!

@hideff the old generation of gracies tarnished their name just fine on their own. Royce popping steroids. Ryan Gracie for just about everything. Rickson for having fixed fights in pridefc.

I really like Kron until he started talking. It started with "whoop there it is" and it ended with him being a flat earther. My love for him was short lived

They need to bring the discipline back to this gen of Gracie's, Like when they lose they have to take a smashing to the nuts with the ball smasher machine thing someone posted a few events ago. I forgot who posted it, Anyone remember who posted that .

@nicky its not Rickson fixing fights for his kids or his family. And nobody is saying that. It is well know, atleast to mma fans who are more knowledgeable of the sport, that his 2 fights in PrideFC against Nobuhiko Takada were both fixed to help start the Pridefc promotion as Royce did for the UFC. Takada was also involved in other fixed fights later in his career
